Reader specifications

Apk files are normal zip-files with compiled java/kotlin and resource files. ApkArchiveReader will return all files unchanged. For extracted metadata, the files AndroidManifest.xml and resources.arsc are extracted to memory, decompiled and metdata extracted from them.

Getting started

Extract all or specific files

var reader = new ApkArchiveReader();

await foreach (
    var entry in reader
        .GetFileEntriesAsync(stream, IArchiveReader.MATCH_ALL_FILES)
) {
    // entry.Name
    // entry.Content
    Console.WriteLine($"Found file {entry.Name} ({entry.Content.Length} bytes)")
}

Extract specific files only

var reader = new ApkArchiveReader();

// use regular expression to match files (path + file name)
await foreach (
    var entry in reader
        .GetFileEntriesAsync(stream, "[.]png$", "[.]xml$")
) {
    // found a (binary) xml or png file
}

Decompile compiled (binary) xml files like AndroidManifest.xml

Stream stream = ...
IAndroidBinaryXmlReader reader = new AndroidBinaryXmlReader();

XDocument document = reader.Read(stream);

// document represent the raw xml document

! NOTE: To dereference values, you need resources.arsc!

Dereference values from AndroidManifest.xml

Stream stream = ...
IApkResourceDecoder reader = new ApkResourceDecoder();

IDictionary<string, IList<string?>> references = await reader.DecodeAsync(stream);

// Map of references to actual value list
